The American singer-songwriter has earned much of this throughout her extremely successful career as a global pop star, performing worldwide for millions of fans, with her debut album ‘The Fame’ propelling her into the global spotlight.
Since then, she has gone on to achieve huge success, with her famous Monster Ball Tour racking up an impressive $227.4 million dollars in revenue at the end of her 200 show stint, making it one of the highest-grossing tours in history.
Commencing just a year later in 2012, Lady Gaga’s Born This Way Ball tour brought in $185.8 million dollars from ticket sales, proving yet again to be another huge success.
Having a large string of successful tours under her belt, combined with album sales and song royalties alongside other brand work, Gaga has managed to accumulate millions towards her net worth. With her latest album Chromatica, it looks like this trend is set to continue.
Throughout her career she has also dipped her toes into several acting roles, most widely known for her role in A Star Is Born.

How Did Lady Gaga Land Her Role In 'American Horror Story'?
Lady Gaga landed her role on American Horror Story in a surprisingly simple way. According to Looper, Gaga simply rang up Ryan Murphy, the creator of AHS, and reportedly asked the AHS creator “Ryan, I wanna be on American Horror Story”. It was really as simple as that.
Murphy reportedly believed that the call was a prank, before realizing that the star really wanted to be on the show.
Why Hasn't Lady Gaga Returned To 'American Horror Story'?
Lady Gaga has appeared in two different seasons of American Horror Story. She first starred in Season 5 of American Horror Story: Hotel, in 2015, playing the character of Elizabeth Johnson, a century-old vampire owner of the famous Hotel Cortez. She then went on to star in Season 6: Roanoke, playing the role of a villainous English Witch named Scáthach.
Her admirable performance as The Countess in Season 5: Hotel didn’t go unnoticed, with the star winning a Golden Globe award for best actress in a limited series or TV movie. However, despite her huge success in the series, Gaga did not return to star in the series after Season 6. Why?
According to Screen Rant, the singer seemed unhappy with the story direction in Season 6: Roanoke, which provoked a small dispute between her and the producers of the show. This dispute, likely paired with stressors from other areas of her work, prompted the star to focus on other areas of her career, rather than returning to the show for another season.
How much did Lady Gaga earn on American Horror Story?
So, just how much did Gaga earn per episode for American Horror Story? According to Parade, Gaga's earnings per episode were estimated to be between $50,000 and $150,000 per episode.
Combining her earnings from both seasons of American Horror Story would give her a staggering grand total of $1.95 million, despite the fact she only appeared in three episodes for the sixth season of the series.
However, this is only a stint on what she earned for her main role in a Star is Born. Forbes reported that Gaga earned an estimated amount of between $5 million and $10million dollars for her role as Ally, one of the main characters in the movie.
Gaga’s co-star Bradley Cooper, who played the role of Jackson Maine, reportedly earned $36 million from his involvement in the film.
How Much Have Other Stars Earned On The Show?
American actor Matt Bomer starred in two seasons of American Horror Story, alongside landing roles in various other movies and TV series, such as Nice Guys and White Collar. He first starred in American Horror Story for season four: Freakshow, where he played the role of a night worker named Andy. He also starred in the fifth season of American Horror Story: Hotel, playing the role of Lady Gaga’s vampire partner.
Bomer reportedly made a minimum of $125,000 for each episode of the series, and that rate may well have been exceeded. Sarah Paulson is an American actress and has appeared in every season - besides season 9 - of American Horror Story. The actress reportedly earns $80,000 per episode.
Depending on the source, it seems Lady Gaga may have outshined her co-stars, or, she might be sitting comfortably in the same salary range.
